| To the Editos of THE HERALD, tai ne. ~,
Dear SI:-In accordance with the
aforesaid wishes of the people OF the
"once dry benches" but now partly
moistened Il return prefuse thanks and
gratitude toithe City Council for their
kind, humane act. in providing three
troughs and spills to relieve the peo-
pie. and it is relief, to them to see
their faces beaming with Joy: to see the
sparkling fluid fn their very midst,
where they could drink and come
again was som ething that g. sight OF it
would amply repay the phllanthroplc
heart that originated the idea.
To all whom it may concern, appeal
for relief; it would be now IN order to
appeal to the City Council for an aug
mentstion of the police force to protect
YOUR umble servant. The ladies have
determined to hug me to death because
"They say" am the cause; now, l am
sure could not have relieved them
without help, aud as the gentlemen OF
the Council helped me am willing to
share pro rata with them IN the reward;
come on gentlemen and take your
dose" Again the sterner male por-
ton OF the community were talking
netting about cane which ], by &C.
eident. overheard, and judging that be-
fore death by hugging was to be well
caned, have stronger reasons for my
appeal for protection.
Presto, change! .f-r
The Tenth Ward meeting has wrought
strangely on our feelings, particularly
the $50 threat of going to law with
somebody. With who2 Surely not
with us. We are friends and fellow
sufferers with any people who, like US,
lack water. Gentlemen of the Tenth
Ward, have you really examined into
the cause of your lack of water, or have
you been been. listening to Dame
we can tell you where you are. The
Twentieth and Twenty-frst Wards
have not had your water; our
water has not been as much
when flowing full charge down hill to
reach from lot to lot in many cases;
there has not been more on watering
days, when we got it, which amounted
to seldom, to fill half inch pipe. My
time has been twelve minutes and
half once week, and know it was not
worth an $50 action at law.
Your water has been diverted from
its course to supply the five acre lots
lately broken up on the east bench by
prior right l suppose. and when it has
been turned in westerly direction it
has been allowed for the manufacture
of bricks in the brick yards. We beg of
you as fellow sufferers to inquire about
things before making charges SO grave
upon an innocent ,unofendIng commun-
ity. We cannot help noticing also that
the principal agitators in your case and
large msjority of speakers upon that
occasion were inhabitants of that in
jured portion of our city below the Salt
Lake and Jordan Canal.
Gentlemen, please let US have the
canal where it ought to be up on the |
bench lands as far as it will 60 and we
will be profuse in our thanks; or would |
you rather have it where it is so that |
you can spend your money in law |
suit to procure damages from the city |
for seepage. We have had quite lot |
of patience to bear the ills we have to |
bear, without having the Tenth Ward |
thrown upon us long suffering people. |
We may have to keepapitchinin, but |
ask forbearance from the Tenth Ward |
until they know what they are talking |
about. We have not got your water,
Er5I Very respectfully, g
-. l.----.---= FREDERICK CELMER,
